Description |
English: During the 1920s, the Seattle Water Department converted Lake Youngs, formerly called Swan Lake, into a major reservoir for the city's drinking water. Wood stave pipelines carried filtered Cedar River water from the Landsburg settling basin to Lake Youngs and on to the rest of the city's water supply system.
This photo, probably taken in 1926, shows the construction of one of the Seattle Water Department's 78-inch wood stave pipelines. The boards were held in place by tight metal rings. Wooden pipelines, now replaced by steel, once formed the backbone of Seattle's drinking water delivery system.
